Laurence Fox has been arrested following a raid on his house by the Metropolitan Police.
The outspoken actor was detained on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras and encouraging or assisting offences to be committed.
During an interview on Rumble with Maajid Nawaz Fox said he’d be “out there with my angle grinder” in relation to the cameras, adding that he’d be “happy to be arrested”.
A Met Police spokesperson has since told the Mirror: “On Wednesday 4, October officers arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras and encouraging or assisting offences to be committed.
“He was arrested in Stockwell and has been taken to a South London police station where he remains in custody.”
It comes after Fox was filmed as he claimed his property was being searched by police. In a video shared by the Reclaim Party, which was launched by the former actor, he was seen sitting on a sofa as cops raided his home.
In the video, Fox points around his home telling viewers: “Look how many coppers there are around my house”.
“Look at them. Coming to steal everything, take everything out of my house. That, ladies and gentleman, is the country that we live in,” he says as the camera pans back around to him and he takes a puff of his cigar.
